A stunning family home set with secluded mature gardens in a private, prized location in the coveted village of Cookham Dean.
Jay's Oak is a superb period property dating back to the 1920s, affording excellent character and a highly sought-after setting within this most desirable of villages. The property is tucked away within mature grounds on the southerly edge of Cookham Dean, a few metres from the entrance to Cookham Common which is protected National Trust land and offers excellent access to local footpaths. The house is built on a large and very private plot, with a swimming pool and a number of outbuildings. Internally the house has been modernised over the years and is beautifully and sympathetically presented, incorporating character features such as the entrance hallway's parquet flooring and original fireplaces with more modern additions. Wooden beams, doors and window frames carry the character feel throughout.
The fantastically spacious and open layout of the house is ideal for large families and is perfectly designed for entertaining, with plenty of space for parties and big family gatherings at birthdays and Christmas. The reception rooms are warm and welcoming and the highlight is the vast, light-filled conservatory to the rear which opens onto the beautifully landscaped gardens.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a formal dining room, sitting room, a large conservatory and an open plan kitchen/family room with a traditional red AGA stove. Adjoining this is a pantry and a utility room and there are two cloakrooms with WCs. The first floor accommodation includes a principal bedroom with en suite bath/shower room, a further en suite guest bedroom, three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside
The house is set well back from the road in a well established plot, with gardens enveloping the house. The front is approached by a gravel driveway leading up to the house and providing ample private parking. The detached garage has a further car port and a first-floor space ideal for storage or as a home office. To the rear, the gardens are beautifully landscaped with mature flowerbeds and borders accompanying the well-manicured lawns and mature trees, creating a wonderfully vibrant and private oasis. Within the gardens there are a number of seating areas, an outdoor pool, a summerhouse, sauna and changing facilities.
